The research sample consisted of 60 students at the age of 15-24 years. The test sample consisted of 112 persons (n = 112), of these 50 males and 62 females. The tested persons were randomly divided into three groups. The control group had 35 persons, the positively intervened experimental group of probands consisted of 39 people, and the negatively intervened experimental group of probands consisted of 38 people. Motor performance was represented by a test of static strength ability of upper extremities...

Studia Kinanthropologica 2020, 21(3):219-225 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2020.054
The ability to jump rope is a suitable physical activity for children and young people. To increase the interest in a given skill, special skipping ropes of various lengths are produced and a new exercise program called rope skipping is created. Based on the selection of suitable forms of motivation and intervention strategy for the creation of exercise programs and the possibilities of their application for the age category of children of younger school age, an intervention program of rope skipping is created. It is ready for use in school physical education and in the sports environment. A set of methodological materials is prepared for teachers...

Studia Kinanthropologica 2020, 21(3):227-234 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2020.055
Primary reflexes help us to survive intrauterine, during childbirth or in the first months after childbirth. After sufficient stimulus, they should be inhibited, but if this stimulus is not received or the central nervous system develops abnormally, these primary reflexes may persist, adversely affect the child's development and cause symptoms similar to those of specific learning disabilities. The aim of this article is to determine the prevalence of primary reflexes in children aged 7-8 years, to find out how the amount of primary reflexes will change after 6 months without a special intervention and what are the differences between boys and girls....

The aim of our contribution was to verify the impact of mobilization exercises on muscle shortening in football players of MFK Snina U13. A two-group experiment was used. The probands' research group consisted of 20 players, where the experimental ensemble consisted of 10 players and a control set of 10 players. We used the Janda (1982) shortened muscle testing methodology, modified by Thurzová (1992). After the initial measurements, a compensation program of balancing exercises was developed, which was applied to probands for six weeks within the training process. After six weeks of operation, we conducted an output measurement of the entire proband...

LC omega-3 fatty acids are a long term deficit component in the diet of the population of the Czech republic. They can significantly improve health and it is necessary to look for ways to increase their income.The opportunity is school meals, where the specified standard of consumption of fish as source of these acids no longer meet current nutritional requirements.The aim of the work is to develop a proposal for its change.The necessary data on the composition of fish and fish products were drawn from domestic and foreign food databases.Calculated and tabulated sums of EPA and DHA fatty acids in 100 grams of individual fish species and products and...
Evaluation of dynamic joint stability in women knee by Y Balance Test
L. Ryba, Z. Sládková
Studia Kinanthropologica 2020, 21(3):261-265 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2020.059
One of the many options for testing the dynamic stability of the knee joint is the Y Balance Test. Compared to other clinical tests, it excels in its practicability, simplicity and sensitivity to the possible risk of injury. The limit of possible risk of injury is 90 % according to the composite score calculated from the maximum reach in the monitored directions (anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral). Our results show that this test can be applied in any environment where we provide a plane in the directions above. The average composite score of the group monitored by us exceeded the limit of 90 %, specifically at x¯ = 94.12 %. No difference...

Studia Kinanthropologica 2020, 21(3):267-276 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2020.060
Analysis of the lifestyle of middle school-age children requires obtaining facts about their real behavior in the environment where they live. The aim of the study was to find out how urban children follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle in everyday life. The research involved 104 pupils attending primary school. Their average age was 10.4 years. Of this total, 52 were boys and 52 were girls. The schools were located in a town with a population of 25,000. A Questionnaire of the Pupils' Daily Regime (Řehulka, 1987) was applied to determine the degree of sleep, the feeling of fatigue and the balance between work and rest. The time frame of the...

Studia Kinanthropologica 2020, 21(3):277-282 | DOI: 10.32725/sk.2020.061
The aim of this study is to assess the quality of stereoscopic vision in children of younger school age (n = 60) with regard to sports activities (handball, swimming), regularly performed by these children. In order to determine the level of stereopsis, the standardized test "Titmus stereo test" was used. At the same time, the initial history of sports-physical activities was carried out to receive more objective interpretation of the results. For the statistical processing of the gained data (Statistica 8.0), the non-parametric method - Mann-Whitney U test - was used. Other parameters were expressed by means of frequency, averages, and percentage...
